Snap-on and Craftsman are actually pretty antiquated tools by modern car guy standards. If you want a real wrench you go with a Mac RBRT - it’s the new hotness in combo wrenches but there are decent alternatives out there from Wright and Proto. Here’s a great video showing things you might have missed if you’ve been in Craftsman world for a while[1].

I have absolutely no knowledge in mechanical engineering before and I am now really in a youtube-binge about wrench. Not sure it is a good thing that I can get captivated by absolute random topic or a bad thing because how technology just suck up our attention.

Have you met car guys? :)

most of us don't. these comments are mostly from people whose idea of "web development" is a form and some static content.

Have you seen r/tools?

I thought the SnapOn koolaid was stale fifteen years ago. Turns out no.
